Jesus Turned Water Into Wine, But Where Did It Actually Happen?

An Americanist Briefing

TALK TO ME, TEXT IT

From the front seat of my car at 5:20 AM, I share some bittersweet news about my parking lot buddy Tim heading off to Alaska. We've had this unspoken competition about who arrives first each morning, and strangely enough, I'll miss seeing his headlights pull up in the dark.
The weekend brought precious time with my grandson - that happy, smart little boy who never seems to throw fits (at least not at Grandma and Grandpa's house). But what really caught my attention this week was a fascinating archaeological discovery about Jesus's first miracle. A historian believes he's found compelling evidence for the true location where Jesus turned water into wine - complete with ancient Christian tunnels marked with crosses, a veneration cave complex used by pilgrims for centuries, and even space for exactly six stone jars as mentioned in Scripture. The physical connection to biblical history is absolutely mind-blowing.
I've been watching the fifth season of The Chosen, and Jonathan Roumie's portrayal of Jesus continues to move me deeply. I find myself feeling strangely sympathetic toward Judas, watching his fundamental misunderstanding of Jesus's mission unfold. After attending Marjorie Taylor Greene's recent talk, her message about getting involved locally resonated strongly. Too many of us whisper "I don't want to get involved" when faced with challenging issues in our communities. Whether it's through social media or showing up at local meetings, we all have opportunities to stand for what we believe. What's your favorite miracle that Jesus performed in the Bible? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
